It is assumed that a sheet of paper performs transverse vibrations as a plate having additional stiffness due to static tension in its plane. The first eigenmodes are determined. The setup for experimental investigation of the nodal lines of the standing waves and for the determination of eigenmodes using projection moire is created for the analysis of unsymmetric loading of the paper. The comparison of the theoretical and experimental results of investigations is performed. The obtained results could be used in the process of design of the elements of the printing device.

It is very interesting and difficult to understand the papers of the great mathematician Prof. Harish-Chandra (1923-1983). While reading any one of them the reader is compelled to know the answers of many questions standing on the way. We have tried to understand his paper¹ and found that the Jacobi polynomial appears on the way of solution of wave equation of electron moving in the field of a magnetic pole. This Jacobi polynomial is not in the usual form appearing in mathematical literature. In this paper we have compared the Jacobi polynomial used by Harish-Chandra with its usual form. We have also deduced the explicit form for such polynomials from identity given in his paper¹ . We have also verified the results found by him concerning Jacobi polynomials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this communication we provide our answers to the comments by Usoskin (2017) on our recent paper (Popova et al, 2017a). We show that Principal Component Analysis (PCA) allows us to derive eigen vectors with eigen values assigned to variance of solar magnetic field waves from full disk solar magnetograms obtained in cycles 21–23 which came in pairs. The current paper (Popova et al, 2017a) adds the second pair of magnetic waves generated by quadruple magnetic sources. This allows us to recover a centennial cycle, in addition to the grand cycle, and to produce a closer fit to the solar and terrestrial activity features in the past millennium.

If the boundary of a domain in three dimensions is smooth enough, then the decay rate of the eigenvalues of the Neumann-Poincaré operator is known and it is optimal. In this paper, we deal with domains with less regular boundaries and derive quantitative estimates for the decay rates of the Neumann-Poincaré eigenvalues in terms of the Hölder exponent of the boundary. Estimates in particular show that the less the regularity of the boundary is, the slower is the decay of the eigenvalues. We also prove that the similar estimates in two dimensions. The estimates are not only for less regular boundaries for which the decay rate was unknown, but also for regular ones for which the result of this paper makes a significant improvement over known results.

In this note I examine a number of statement made in Wadee and Yiatros (Z. Angew. Math. Phys. 61:565-577 ) in relation to my paper mentioned in the title. Most of the claims by Drs. Wadee and Yiatros are re-examined here in the proper context and it is shown that the results of the title paper are free of any errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this paper, we establish new Lyapunov-type inequalities for two classes of one-dimensional quasilinear elliptic systems of resonant type, which improve the recent results of Tang and He [X.H. Tang, X. He, Lower bounds for generalized eigenvalues of the quasilinear systems, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 385 (2012) 72–85] when 1< p i <2 for i =1,2,…, n. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The aim of this paper is twofold: First, we characterize an essentially optimal class of boundary operators Θ which give rise to self-adjoint Laplacians in with (nonlocal and local) Robin-type boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains , , . Second, we extend Friedlander''s inequalities between Neumann and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues to those between nonlocal Robin and Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalues associated with bounded Lipschitz domains Ω, following an approach introduced by Filonov for this type of problems.

The focus of this paper is on the solution of Maxwell's equations for time-harmonic fields on triangular, possibly non-orthogonal meshes. The method described was first introduced in References 1 and 2 for eigenvalue problems arising in the design of accelerator components and dielectric loaded waveguides. It is based on the well-known Finite Integration Technique (FIT) which is a proven consistent discretization method for the computation of electromagnetic fields. The FIT-discretization on non-orthogonal 2D grids has close relations to the Nédélec elements or edge elements in the Finite Element Method. Revisiting FIT on triangular grids this paper intends to stimulate thorough studies of the latter subject which is well worth further investigations. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This paper presents the topological derivative of the first eigenvalue for the free vibration model of plane structures. We conduct a topological asymptotic analysis to account for perturbations in the domain caused by inserting a small inclusion. The paper includes a rigorous derivation of the topological derivative for the eigenvalue problem along with a proof of its existence. Additionally, we provide numerical examples that illustrate the application of the proposed methodology for maximizing the first eigenvalue in plane structures. The results demonstrate that multiple eigenvalues were not encountered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We continue the program first initiated by Laptev, Schimmer, and Takhtajan [Geom. Funct. Anal. 26 (2016), pp. 288–305] and develop a modification of the technique introduced in that paper to study the spectral asymptotics, namely the Riesz means and eigenvalue counting functions, of functional difference operators H_0 = \mathcal {F}^{-1} M_{\cosh (\xi)} \mathcal {F} with potentials of the form W(x) = \left \lvert {x} \right \rvert ^pe^{\left \lvert {x} \right \rvert ^\beta } for either \beta = 0 and p > 0 or \beta \in (0, 2] and p \geq 0. We provide a new method for studying general potentials which includes the potentials studied by Laptev, Schimmer, and Takhtajan [Geom. Funct. Anal. 26 (2016), pp. 288–305] and [J. Math. Phys. 60 (2019), p. 103505]. The proof involves dilating the variance of the gaussian defining the coherent state transform in a controlled manner preserving the expected asymptotics.

The weighted fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT) has always been considered a development of the discrete fractional Fourier transform (FRFT). This paper points out that the WFRFT is a discrete FRFT of eigenvalue decomposition, which will change the consistent understanding of the WFRFT. Extended definitions based on the WFRFT have been proposed and widely used in information processing. This paper proposes a unified framework for extended definitions, and existing extended definitions can serve as special cases of this unified framework. In further analysis, we find that the existing extended definitions are deficient. With the help of a unified framework, we systematically analyze the reasons for the deficiencies. This has great guiding significance for the application of the WFRFT and its extended definitions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Frequency domain transfer functions of microwave systems are usually calculated either directly in the frequency domain or in the time domain in combination with a Fourier analysis. The computation of loss-free linear devices based on eigenfields (resonant fields) offers an alternative to obtaining broadband frequency characteristics with a high accuracy. Such methods are very effective for problems with multiple narrow resonances as many points in frequency domain have to be calculated to sample the maximas, or time domain computations have to deal with long transients. We describe a method of this type and then an improvement that leads directly to transfer functions, which are very accurate even if only modes in the chosen frequency range are taken into account. Generalized macroscopic parameters are introduced as input and output quantities, which are related to conventional quantities such as discrete currents and voltages, wave parameters, or even beam currents and voltages (as defined in accelerator physics for beams of ultra-relativistic charged particles). When the generalized input/output parameters are causal they are related to each other and to state parameters of the eletromagnetic fields by a differential equation with time independent system matrices. The input/output transfer matrix in the frequency domain is an impedance matrix, which is derived from the system matrices of the discretization as well as from a series expansion using eigensolutions. The number of eigenmodes is typically three times the number of meshpoints, but good approximations can be achieved even with a much smaller set of eigenvalues around the frequency range of interest. Another approach to characterizing the system response is based on the output/input relation described by an admittance matrix. Combining both approaches, the error of the approximations can be estimated and significantly reduced. The application of the method is shown for several examples.

In this paper we analyze the stability of the problem of performing a rational QZ step with a shift that is an eigenvalue of a given regular pencil H - λ K in unreduced Hessenberg–Hessenberg form. In exact arithmetic, the backward rational QZ step moves the eigenvalue to the top of the pencil, while the rest of the pencil is maintained in Hessenberg–Hessenberg form, which then yields a deflation of the given shift. But in finite-precision the rational QZ step gets "blurred" and precludes the deflation of the given shift at the top of the pencil. In this paper we show that when we first compute the corresponding eigenvector to sufficient accuracy, then the rational QZ step can be constructed using this eigenvector, so that the exact deflation is also obtained in finite-precision.

This paper concerns with a Lyapunov-type inequality for the Riesz-Caputo fractional boundary value problem with anti-periodic boundary conditions. As an application for the obtained inequality, a lower bound for the eigenvalues of anti-periodic fractional boundary problems of the Riesz-Caputo derivative has been obtained.

In Ref. [1] , the κ -Dirac equation, based on the κ -deformed Poincaré-Hopf algebra, have been studied. In particular, solutions of the κ -Dirac oscillator (DO), in a three-dimensional space, were obtained by deriving the associated radial equations. We point out, however, a miscalculation in treating these equations, which had led to erroneous conclusions, particularly, about the energy eigenvalues and the breaking of their infinite degeneracy by the κ -deformation. By the way, we present a simple alternative method to solve the problem using an algebraic procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to explore a non-destructive method for measuring the polymerization degree (DP) of paper insulation in transformer, a new method that based on the optical properties of free fiber particles in transformer oil was studied. The chromatic dispersion images of fibers with different aging degree were obtained by polarizing microscope, and the eigenvalues (r, b, and Mahalanobis distance) of the images were extracted by the RGB (red, blue, and green) tricolor analysis method. Then, the correlation between the three eigenvalues and DP of paper insulation were simulated respectively. The results showed that the color of images changed from blue-purple to orange-yellow gradually with the increase of aging degree. For the three eigenvalues, the relationship between Mahalanobis distance and DP had the best goodness of fit (R2 = 0.98), higher than that of r (0.94) and b (0.94). The mean square error of the relationship between Mahalanobis distance and DP (52.17) was also significantly lower than that of r and b (97.58, 98.05). Therefore, the DP of unknown paper insulation could be calculated by the simulated relationship of Mahalanobis distance and DP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
